Definitions

  • Vehicle seats with one or several adjusting mechanisms are state of the art. They make it possible to achieve an ergonomic adjustment of the vehicle seat and are thus contributing to safety. Compared to mechanical adjusting mechanisms they may particularly be adjusted in a more comfortable way that requires less effort. This makes them more comfortable to use.
